Mechanisms of action

Aurorix is an antidepressant which affects the brain monoaminergic neurotransmitter system through reversible inhibition of
monoamine oxidase, preferentially of type A. The metabolism of
norepinephrine, dopamine and serotonin is thus decreased, and this
leads to increased extracellular concentrations of these neuronal
transmitters. This results in its elevating effect on mood and
psychomotor activity.
